Concentrating on the Ploegsteert and Neuve Eglise sectors in
Belgium, this book features stories on such well known figures as
sculptor Charles Sargent Jagger, ARA ; R Poulton Palmer and 'Tanky'
Turner, great friends and rugby football captains of England and
Scotland respectively; as well the discovery and eventual burial of
a Lancashire Fuslier who was killed in action in 1914; the research
leading to the erection in 2002 of a 'Believed to be buried'
headstone in the Strand cemetery of an Australian killed in action
at Messines in 1917; the action in 1914 that initiated the birth of
the infamous 'Birdcage' on the western edge of Ploegsteert Wood and
other stories of interest to enthusiasts of the Great War. Another
in the Cameos of the Western Front series on men, minor actions and
battlefield sites, this book, like its predecessors is an ideal
'companion' for the battlefield visitor.
